Note to Tiger Woods: get a sense of humor

Can somebody please get Tiger Woods a beer or something?

When asked yesterday about the “Tiger Who?” hat worn by Vijay’s caddie five years ago, Tiger could’ve laughed it off. Instead, he got bitter.

“I certainly didn't appreciate it,” Woods said. “I thought it wasn't real respectful. I know he tried to do it in fun, but I didn't take it that way.”

Oh, get over yourself, Tiger. It’s a joke, roll with it. Please don’t put us in the uncomfortable position of thinking Vijay Singh is the funny one in the group.

Australian Peter Lonard said it best, when describing the cultural differences between the U.S. players and everyone else: “The main difference is that we don't get our knickers in a twist if someone calls us arseholes.” Tell it to Colin Montgomerie, my friend.

Of course, the twisted knickers might explain Woods’s game today. Retief Goosen and Adam Scott made short work of Woods and Couples, 4 & 3. The International team is now leading the U.S., 3 ½ to 2 ½.
